Miracle Chick,

The only chick to survive our first hatch where everything that could go wrong did. In April 2010, I bought a dozen Buff Orphington eggs from Tammy with Majestic Farm (she has such gorgeous birds and I've always wanted some buff orph hens). Everything that could go wrong with a hatch did with that one, completely with a 10 hr lost of power due to spring storms on hatch day. Only one buff baby made it, but unfortunately our Miracle chick only made it about 3 days.

Marcus Aurelius our Blue Marans Rooster
(Because he thinks he's a mighty general and emperor of all of Rome. He's not the best behaved fellow, but he's definately the best looking rooster we've owned. He's more blue in person, my camera doesn't do him justice.)
